"The Audi exclusive RS 7 dynamic edition exemplifies just some of the
personalization options that are possible through our Audi exclusive program",
said Filip Brabec, Director of Product Planning, Audi of America. "The
combination of our most powerful RS model ever and the added customized elements
make this a truly special car to drive and to behold."
The Audi exclusive RS 7 dynamic edition combines all of the performance of the
560 horsepower RS 7 including the DRC suspension with elements of the exclusive
customization program. The Black Valcona leather seats have the RS specific
honeycomb stitch in Crimson Red matching the safety belts of the same color.
Additional Crimson Red stitching can be found on the dashboard, gear shifter
boot, center and door armrests as well as along the center console. The Crimson
Red accents combine with the carbon fiber inlays to further amplify the
performance character of the Audi exclusive RS 7 dynamic edition.
The exterior is highlighted by Tornado Red brake calipers with RS 7 logo and
21-inch Gloss Black wheels. Carbon fiber splitter, diffuser and carbon fiber
engine cover further underline the performance character of the exclusive RS 7.
Four exterior colors are available to complement the exclusive design elements:
Ibis White, Suzuka Gray metallic, Daytona Gray pearl, Phantom Black pearl.
The DRC system utilizes three-stage adjustable dampers that are hydraulically
cross-linked and integrated into the Audi drive select system along with the
standard rear sport differential for maximum performance driving. Dynamic
steering adapts the steering boost and ratio to allow for more precise handling.
Same Twin-Turbo 4.0-Liter V8 Engine
The five-door coupe is fitted with the twin-turbo 4.0 Liter TFSI V8
engine, producing an astounding 560 hp that launches the RS 7 from 0-60 mph in
just 3.7 seconds.
At low to medium loads and engine speeds - with its innovative
cylinder on demand technology - the RS 7 deactivates cylinders 2, 3, 5 and 8 by
closing their valves via electromechanical actuators. The 4.0 Liter TFSI engine
runs in four-cylinder mode, providing up to 15% better fuel efficiency, while
the active engine mounts remove any changes in vibration between eight and
four-cylinder modes. Innovative solutions such as thermal management and
cylinder on demand enable the RS 7 to achieve a respectable EPA estimated MPG of
16 city/27 highway/19 combined. The RS 7 is not subject to a gas guzzler tax.
